I have a dual-band airport extreme which I have configured to create both a wireless-a/b/g/n SSID on my network, as well as a second SSID which is Wireless-N-ONLY (meant to be used with my Time Capsule so that all backups to the Time Capsule via Time Machine are only ever done via Wireless-N).

My Airport Extreme is already configured, and now I just have to configure my Time Capsule on my network...

Can someone briefly run through the "assist me" steps in the Airport Utility that I'd want to follow to configure my Time Capsule so that it's available on my dual-band base station's wireless-N-ONLY network and so that it's not transmitting or receiving any other wireless protocol other than wireless-N?

Thanks!

In the setup assistant chose "join wireless network" and then select the n-only network.

After that in the manual setup you go to AirPort > Wireless > Radio Mode. Select only a single n network. If you hold option while you click on this menu you will see more options. Make sure AirPort > Guest Network > Enable Guest Network is disabled.
